The series, which premiered in December, followed an orphaned teenager in the 1980s who get recruited into a storied high school for assassins. Avengers filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo served as producers.

Happy!, which starred Christopher Meloni and the voice talents of Patton Oswalt, was based on the graphic novel of the same name by Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson.

Happy! premiered in December 2017 and follows an injured hitman who becomes friends with an imaginary, flying unicorn.

Sony Pictures Television -- which produces Deadly Class -- and Universal Content Productions -- which produces Happy! -- will be shopping the shows around to place them at a new home.
